MultiPlus Backup only 1600VA / 12 volt

Introduction

(Explain what it solves:)
A simple sytem for mains backup.
When mains power is available the loads are powered directly.
If the mains is not available because of load shedding the loads powered with the energy from the batteries. When the mains is available again the power will be supplied directly from the mains and the batteries will be charged again.

How long is the backup time?

The backup time depends on the power consumption.
If the power consumption is high like during the day then time available will be short. During the night when power consumption is low the time the power can be supplied by the batteries will be longer.

  • Load shedding period: High power loads about 800W DoD 50% SoC about 2 hours runtime
  • At night: Low power loads about 200W DoD 50% SoC about 10 hours runtime


Glossary:
SoC: State of charge
DoD: Depth of discharge

Simple system

The basic system consists of only 2 parts:

  • MultiPlus
  • Batterybank

Connect the AC input to the mains. Connect the AC to the loads you want to backup.
Connect the battery cables to the battery. Read the manual for details on how to safely connect the batteries

Parts

Advanced system

When you want to have a better idea of what your system is doing some optional parts can be installed. For simple monitoring and remote on/off switching the Digital Multi Control can be used. This is installed using 1 network cable. This can be used to turn the Multi on and off and to see the operational state.
If you want to do more advanced monitoring or even logging and remote monitoring you can install the ColorControl GX. This is a graphical display which can connect to almost all Victron equipment and the internet. For more information and details see the product pages.

optional parts

Notes for batteries:
  • We recommend using deep-cycle GEL or AGM batteries. At least 200Ah blocks.
  • Cable cross section: The Multiplus 1600 comes with battery cables of 1.5m included. These cables are 35mm2 thick. If longer cables are needed a cable with a thicker crosssection may be needed. Check the table in this document: For more information on battery cables
